Noise For Beginners

[Minus1]

As for someone who typically listens to harsh noise, I've been showing my friend the genre and he seems interested.
While You Were Out by Kazumoto Endo is a pretty good pick for beginners, but I've also heard 3: William Bennett Has No Dick from Hanatarash is also varied enough to fit the bill.

Also for some reason there's people that reccomened Pulse Demon and Verenology from Merzbow, like dude that's way, way too much. My first harsh noise album was Noisembryo from the same artist and I put down the genre for a while afterwards, although I was still interested.

I'm not too well verse in the other noise genres, (aside from noise rock) so i'll be interested to see what comes up.

Ha! My first Noise experience was also Merzbow - Noisembryo, about 25 years ago.

I dove right into the deep-end. But I think "short and varied" might be the way to introduce newbies.

Therefore, Whitehouse might fit the bill perfectly?

(Do not....and I mean DO NOT start with Vomir!)

Edit: Ooops. Hybrid Noisebloom was my first. I'm getting Merzbow albums mixed up. Sorry.

It depends what kind of people you are poisoning. In my case there have to be some familiar. My path was fanatic Ride for Revenge fan boy pretty natural after I heard Undor/RFR split.

I share similar pathways, being from a more metal first enthusiast. RFR is an absolute essential gateway type of band to get one more into PE/noise and other experimental elements. I'd also say the Grey Wolves would be another good one, for one to start with. I remember hearing them way back in the day and thinking this is kind of cool, very industrial with a punk attitude about it!
Ride For Revenge has always done an excellent job and a quality job of bringing out that appeal and crossover to audiences looking for something "different" and quite frankly I don't think that band gets near enough praise, that it so rightfully deserves.
